Kai Fu Han

Chapter 601 Hiding
In a large courtyard covering an area of ​​three acres in the northwest of Hangzhou City, the plaque on the gate of the courtyard is "Chengfu".

There were heavily armed guards guarding the outside of the courtyard, and there were guards all around the courtyard.

There are six other heavily guarded mansions like this in Hangzhou.

In the innermost courtyard of Cheng Mansion, there is the west wing.

"Officials, there is a chaos outside now. Those who are capable of doing things and those who are not are too frightened to go out. The supply of military supplies for the army going north has completely stopped. Some of the ships outside Hangzhou Port have begun to escape." A spy from the Imperial City Department reported to Song Gouhui.

Li Gang and Song Gou were sitting in the room, both with sad faces.

Song Gou was an absolute pragmatist. During his reign, he chose to put in office whatever ministers he needed.

When national affairs are in turmoil, choose the militant faction.When the country's affairs were stable, they chose to suppress these militant factions with great achievements.

Now that the Xinghan Alliance is strong and Southern Zhao is in danger, the main war factions such as Li Gang and Xu Han have all been activated.

This initiative to launch an offensive against the Xinghan League was also Li Gang's intention.

Xu Han made some additions to it. It was Xu Han's idea to take the initiative to hide Nan Zhao's "brain".

Six large courtyards with suitable locations were selected in Hangzhou City. Including the palace in Hangzhou, there are seven in total. These seven locations are all guarded with the same intensity. In other words, it is impossible to tell where Song Gou is hiding based on the number of guards. .

Except for the guards, the daily consumption of food and daily necessities is on the same scale.

Even the official documents were sent in seven copies to prevent anyone from being aware of Song Gou's hiding place.

If Hangzhou was not near the sea and the groundwater level was too shallow, Xu Han would probably have thought of connecting all these yards with tunnels.

Zhao Nan had tried to find clues from the garbage sent out from the yard before, but all failed.

The output of garbage is completely irregular.

"How can the Xinghan Alliance be so shameless? What should we do now?" Song Gou was already a little confused.

When Li Gang came before, he had already broken several pieces of porcelain in the room.

Li Gang couldn't answer Song Gou's question for a while.

"You have been hiding like a mouse for so many days, and you have exhausted all your resources to raise an army. In the end, this is the result?" Seeing Li Gang not replying, Song Gou got a little angry, picked up the teapot on the table, and threw it to the ground.

The exquisite teapot fell into pieces, and the fragments splashed on Li Gang's shoes.

In the past few days, Li Gang felt that he had run out of gas.

The Xinghan League has too many trump cards and too strong a force. Our side is like a young child facing a seven-foot strong man. We have gritted our teeth and used all our strength, while the other side only needs to raise his head. He raised his hand and pinched his neck, preventing him from moving.

It may not be clear that Song Gou lives in a deep palace, but he, Li Gang, knows it best.

This time, the Southern Zhao court was able to gather more than 20 troops and more than 2000 ships. The supplies for these ships were all ready, and there were forces behind them to add fuel to the fire.This force is the gentry and landlord class in Henan and Jianghuai areas. More than four years after the establishment of the Xinghan League, this class has fully realized the ferocity of the Xinghan League.This class does not allow the court to fail.

Just like the Civil War in the United States in later generations, the struggle between classes had to use all their strength. If they lose, they will perish.

The gentry and landowners spent all their wealth to support the Southern Zhao court in order to protect their own means of production.But no one expected that such a huge operation would be so easily beaten by the Xinghan Alliance.

Now more than 20 troops have stopped in Yangzhou, neither up nor down. More than 2000 sea-going ships are parked outside Hangzhou Bay, neither entering nor retreating.

"Master Li Gang, please say something." Song Gou no longer respected Li Gang as before, and he had already realized that he had no choice but to go.

"The officials and the army's supplies are being thought of in Yangzhou, and they will definitely not delay the army's march north." Li Gang saw that Song Gou was panicking, and replied in a calm tone: "As for the sea ships, we can let them They will go north slowly first, and we will prepare a batch of supplies at the Yangtze River estuary. The Xinghan Alliance will definitely not have assassination masters at the Yangtze River estuary, and the supply will be completed smoothly by then."

"It must have gone well? Do you believe this?" Song Gou sneered at Li Gang's statement.

Everyone knows that it is easier to move a group of people (masters) than a large amount of materials.

The Xinghan League could find its own weakness so accurately and know the capabilities of officials better than itself, so how could it not monitor Yangzhou.

If this wave of master assassins cannot be dealt with, nothing can be done on Nan Zhao's side.

Because no matter how big or small the priority is, someone has to carry it out. It is impossible for Li Gang to do everything by himself.

Moreover, whenever he, Li Gang, dares to show his face, the two people present know what the result will be.

"Officials, no matter how bad the situation is, we can't sit still and wait for death." Li Gang comforted.

Song Gou threw something and lost a lot of his anger. The sarcasm just now was just a conditioned reflex. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to secure the throne, he still had to rely on these officials: "Hey, the matter has come to this, there is no way back, you guys Just do it, it can’t get any worse.”

Song Gou knew in his heart that he was about to hide underground. If it weren't for the strong combat power of the Xinghan Alliance at sea, his subordinates would have persuaded him to take a boat and hide at sea.

"Don't worry, officials, my men will do their best and die." Li Gang knelt down and saluted Song Gou.

"Li Qing, I definitely believe it. If it weren't for you, our Southern Zhao might not even be able to fight back now." Song Gou stepped forward to help his subordinates, and he could only hide in this small courtyard now. , whether we can turn the tide and survive depends on these ministers working outside.

There are already a large number of officials who are afraid of death and have gone into hiding. Those who can stay now are precious and cannot be blamed at all.

"The Xinghan League is now facing enemies on three sides. The shortage of manpower is its Achilles' heel. We must seize the opportunity now. Otherwise, when the Xinghan League recovers, we will really have no chance at all." Li Gang said He made his final guess.

If Liu Xinqi could be here at this moment, he would definitely be very impressed by Li Gang's deduction. As expected, the person who knows him best is his enemy.

"I understand. Just go ahead and pay attention to your personal safety." Song Gou was already discouraged in his heart. He said some comforting words and motioned for Li Gang to go out.

Things are unpredictable, and he wants to be alone for a while.

Who could have imagined that more than four years ago, the small Liujiabao could develop to the present level. When Liujiabao surrendered, the civil and military officials of the entire court scorned and dismissed it.Now think about it, if we could have paid attention to it at that time, fully utilized the Xinghan League and taken control of it early, how could there have been the disaster today.
